Kubuntu 12.04 comes with unclutter which causes the mouse cursor (pointer) to disappear after 1 second of being stationary. I find this most annoying. Where can I change the idle time setting and other settings Kubuntu specifies for unclutter?

Kubuntu



The package unclutter : http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/unclutter is not part of the kubuntu-desktop : http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/kubuntu-desktop.



That is, at here, with the new Kubuntu 12.04 beta installation:




:~$ unclutter



The program 'unclutter' is currently not installed. You
can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install unclutter




Unclutter





Q:




I have seen gives me any clue as to where unclutter puts the config
file. That's my question, basically. Where is the config file?




A:
Installing the unclutter and looking what the package is installing:



dpkg -L unclutter


The output - you could use the Muon or the Synaptic to show this :



/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90unclutter
/usr/share/doc/unclutter/copyright
/usr/share/doc/unclutter/README
/usr/share/doc/unclutter/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/unclutter.1.gz
/usr/bin/unclutter


enter image description here



-> The /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90unclutter :



# /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90unclutter
# This file is sourced by Xsession(5), not executed.

if [ -e /etc/default/unclutter ]
then
. /etc/default/unclutter
fi

if [ -x /usr/bin/unclutter ] && [ "${START_UNCLUTTER}" = "true" ]
then
/usr/bin/unclutter ${EXTRA_OPTS} &
fi


--> The /etc/default/unclutter :



# /etc/default/unclutter - configuration file for unclutter

# Set this option to 'true' if you want to start unclutter
# automagically after X has been started for a user.
# Otherwise, set it to 'false'.
START_UNCLUTTER="true"

# Options passed to unclutter, see 'man unclutter' for details.
EXTRA_OPTS="-idle 1 -root"


---> The configuration file is the /etc/default/unclutter.



Purging the unclutter...
